standards, as shown in the table below.
These are compatible with the low-impedance,
unbalanced or balanced, line-level outputs typically
emanating from equipment such as mixers,
synthesizers, samplers, direct boxes, crossovers, etc.
Electric guitars, microphones, and other low-
level/high-impedance output devices require a
preamp.
